Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

Chapter 366: - They Knew They Were Being Followed



Broken finally decided to use his Perception skill on the guest who had won the Legendary- grade sword. He only took a quick glance, but what he saw was enough to shock him.

[Name: ???]

[Level: 212]

[Strength: 790 | Agility: ??? | Intelligence: ??? | Constitution: ??? | Stamina: ???]

Wow, level 212 with Strength at 790? It became clear to him that the people attending this auction were far from ordinary. This was the first time he had encountered a demon of such a high level since entering Hell. Actually, he had come across some powerful demon monsters in the forest, but what surprised him was seeing a normal demon at this level in a setting like this auction.

If this individual was at such a high level, it was likely that their bodyguards or companions were also similarly strong.

Broken sighed, realizing that attempting to rob them would be like starting a massive battle against potentially multiple opponents, each at or above level 200. The risk was far too great, even for him. Being tempted by the sword was one thing, but willingly walking into a fight he wasn't prepared for was something else entirely.

The auction concluded, and Broken quickly secured the Vampire Blood he had won. Afterward, he confirmed with Marlene that her team was still keeping an eye on their target the guest who had purchased the slaves. Most likely, the buyer would stay in the city overnight, as they typically wouldn't leave immediately, instead waiting for the right moment to slip away quietly.

This gave them enough time to prepare. Meanwhile, Broken couldn't help but feel eager to feed the demon egg with the Vampire Blood he had purchased for a staggering price-money that could have bought him a house in the real world. He took a deep breath, still grappling with the enormity of the purchase.

Broken decided to part ways with the others for a while and head back to the inn, while they also had their own matters to attend to, though he wasn't sure what those were. His mind, however, was focused on the egg and whether this costly investment would pay off.

He quickly entered his room at the inn and placed the demon egg in the center of the room. He pulled out the vial containing the vampire blood and brought it close to the egg. The egg began to tremble as he did so, clearly reacting with excitement.

[The Fetus is hungry... it wants its meal immediately.]

Broken smiled, then uncorked the vial, observing the thick, dark blood as it moved slowly within the vial. He wondered what other uses this blood might have, but he knew he couldn't afford to waste it.

He carefully let a single drop fall onto the egg. The moment the blood touched the shell, the egg quivered, and the faint light around it intensified.

[The Fetus has received an incredible boost. It wants more.]

"You're not planning to consume all of this at once, are you?" Broken muttered.

He checked the egg's progress-now it was at 83%! Wow, wasn't it just 78% last time? That's quite a jump! The vampire blood clearly had a powerful effect, and though he was tempted to save some, it was hard to argue with the results.

But based on his experience, this egg had a tendency to get bored easily with whatever it desired, so he held back from giving it more and decided to save the rest.

[The Fetus is angry, it wants its food.]

Broken lightly patted the egg's shell. "Be a good egg, and I'll give you more blood later, okay?"

The egg trembled more violently, and the faint light around it intensified, but Broken just smiled and let it be.

A baby needs discipline, even when it's still inside the shell, he thought.

Suddenly, he heard loud noises coming from outside his room-shouts from other guests, something like angry voices arguing.

"What is that?" he wondered.

He moved closer to the door and cracked it open slightly, peering into the hallway. He saw several people walking briskly down the corridor, their footsteps echoing. One voice, louder and more distinct than the others, caught his attention-it sounded oddly familiar.

"Where have I heard that voice before?"

Feeling a surge of curiosity, Broken saved the egg inside his Inventory and quickly donned his disguise the helmet with horns that Marlene had given him. He then quietly followed the group of demons from a distance as they descended the stairs.

When Broken used his Perception skill on the lead demon, he recognized something immediately—it was the same set of stats as the demon who had won the Legendary-grade sword at the auction. That's why the voice had seemed so familiar-this demon had been shouting loudly with every bid.

Wait, are they leaving the inn already?

As Broken continued to follow from afar, it became clear that the group was indeed preparing to depart. They readied a carriage and seemed intent on leaving the inn as soon as possible.

"A little nighttime stroll wouldn't hurt, right?" He thought, preparing himself to tail them as they made their way out of the inn.

Greed was taking hold of him. He couldn't stop thinking about that Legendary-grade sword with the fire element-it would pair perfectly with his Demon Helmet. If he could just find a few more pieces of armor with fire elements, he'd have a complete set, like a Ghost Rider. He laughed at the thought, imagining himself fully decked out in such gear.

As he watched the carriage being loaded, his excitement was tempered by the realization of what he was up against. The lead demon entered the carriage while the other guards, numbering over a dozen, surrounded it. As he used his Perception skill to check each one, he was stunned-every single one of them was over level 200. Twenty demons, all with levels above 200?

He swallowed hard, considering the daunting odds.

The demon entourage soon exited the city gates, and Broken followed not long after. He kept his distance, mindful of their overwhelming strength. Despite the carriage's steady pace, he was able to keep up with his own running speed. The group wasn't in a hurry, likely due to the guards who walked alongside the carriage, ensuring its protection as it moved through then/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

night.

Facing over twenty demons, all above level 200, was a terrifying prospect. Broken had no idea what abilities these demons possessed. He might stand a chance if he invited Marlene and her team to join him. But no, if he was going to fight them, he'd have to unleash everything he had, pouring out a barrage of powerful attacks to take them down quickly before they could overwhelm him. He still had a chance to win-maybe.

"What should I do?" he muttered, even though he already knew the answer-he had to move forward. There was no turning back now; his mind was made up.

Broken continued to observe from a distance, hiding among the trees and trying to stay out of sight as he trailed the group. They eventually decided to stop, though it wasn't clear why.

The moonlight cast a faint glow over the scene, but it was still dark enough that Broken had hoped to remain unseen. Then, almost all the guards suddenly turned, their eyes locking onto his hiding spot among the trees, pointing directly at him.

The carriage door swung open, and the high-level demon who had won the Legendary-grade

sword stepped out, his gaze locked on Broken's position.

They knew they were being followed!
